Mental and Physical Illness

 Long time no see! As some of you may have noticed, I took a short break from posting. I've been struggling lately, and I knew that my work wouldn't be at its full potential if I continued to post. But don't worry, I'm back! Today's post is about something very important; how mental and physical illnesses relate to each other. For example, when I would experience extreme anxiety, I would pass out. My mental illness caused me some physical symptoms. People don't always realize how much the two intertwine, but the overlap is significant. Take a read over the slides, and let me know what you think!


Be kind to people, you don't know what they're going through.

I scroll through TikTok for a while (meaning a few minutes), and run downstairs once my dad and sister tell me it's time to leave. My dad drops me off at Tim Hortons; I like to get an iced coffee, cheese biscuit, and bacon and egg muffin. I love eating these foods in the moment, but afterward, I can feel really guilty. However, I have learned to push through these thoughts: the show must on. My friend meets me around 9am, an...

What is Self-Harm?

 Happy New Year! Long time no see! It’s been a good while since I posted. One of my resolutions is to start posting more regularly, especially since we’re coming up on the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of this blog!! It’s absolutely insane how much we’ve accomplished in the past year, thank you all so much for supporting me in this. Today, we’re starting the new year off on an important note. Today’s topic is Self-Harm and Self-Injury. I’ve been hearing lots of misconceptions about this topic recently and wanted to do my part and educate those who may be misguided. As always, if you need ANY help whatsoever, please visit my CRISIS page on my blog for helplines that are available and accessible for you. Here’s to 2023! May this year be something incredible! Be kind to people, you don’t know what they’re going through. ♡Saige
